I need to replace my aging tv soon, and although I'd love and HD tv, and I have the money for one, I'm avoiding HD like the plague until a few years after they get all this crap sorted out. The format is pretty much doomed.
This system will reduce lighting energy consumption by 2/3 in most places. You save a LOT by having only the lights on that need to be on and allowing people to dim thier own lights (most people turn the lights down). Combined with the other strategies most buildings really can use about 1/3 of what they typically do.
Disclosure: I work for those guys.:)
Tenable is basically doing this to Nessus. They've made most of the scripts non-GPL. The engine might remain GPL, but all the scripts (where the real value is) aren't. They've effectively made a GPL product proprietary by making what it depends on proprietary.
Do what I do. Most places with auto-dailers have more outgoing calls than people, so it takes them 5 seconds or so to get to the call. When you answer and get no response in 3-4 seconds, just hang up. Still costs a little, but I've found it works. I also don't answer calls sometimes from private numbers as well as anything that comes up 800 or 888 on call display.
I left TD a while ago and am now happily banking
with Metro Credit Union. No problems with their web stuff with
Netscape/Linux. Not too many branches though,
so if you need to go in often then they may not
be for you.
I had a meeting with a high level marketting person from SGI yesterday, and he said their plans were to phase out IRIX for Linux to the level that they could, and that IRIX had development plans until 2003.
I found a jobs that doesn't pay amazingly well but that I still enjoy quite a lot after being here a year. The pay is less than "industry" (I work at a research/teaching hospital) but I'm involved in interesting projects and I know what I'm doing helps others.
I think if you beleive in what you're doing, you've got a good boss, and you've got decent co-workers then your jobs can be fulfilling. Even in the high-tech IT world. You need to look for the jobs, but they're out there.

SecuritySpace.com's web server survey. Of course the methodology is different....

Unless you have $1M to litigate, a patent is next to worthless. The lone inventor, unless rich, gains no real protection from them.

My old university was toronto.edu, and last time I checked that was in Canada.
.mil and .gov are only in the US though.
